Mullewa Muster & Rodeo: Another sell-out event credited to surge in popularity with younger generation
For three years in a row, the Mullewa Muster and Rodeo has been a sell-out and the organisers credit the surge in popularity of the outback bash to the 'TikTok generation'.
It was a family-friendly weekend of thrills and spills last weekend for 3500 people from across Australia, donning their best leather boots, denim jeans and cowboy hats.
It was the 11th year of the Mullewa Muster and Rodeo and organiser Caitlin Bryant says it keeps getting better and better.
'We've seen a really big demographic shift over the last three years; post-COVID, we have started to appeal to a much younger crowd,' she said.
'It's definitely that TikTok generation. Country and western is so popular at the moment, we were worried that maybe it was a trend, but then you sell out three years in a row and it only gets more popular.'
The wild weekend in the bush included bull riding, barrel racing and steer wrestling. As the sun set the crowd flocked to the main field for a country music festival featuring Christie Lamb and Reuben Styles from Peking Duck.
The night was capped off with the crowd camping under the stars.

Aussie singles survive day one of being stranded together
One of the most extreme and radical dating experiences to hit TV has arrived. Stranded on Honeymoon Island sees 12 unlucky-in-love Aussie singles marry a complete stranger who they met at a speed-dating event just two weeks prior. After tying the knot, the six couples are dumped on a deserted island where they will spend 21 days in isolation — love will either bloom or dreams of a happy ending will come crashing down. On the first episode, we are first introduced to Byron, a 33-year-old electrician from Queensland who loves to surf and eat pizza with mates. He reveals he lost his mum at just 15 and has always distracted himself from the grief by being busy, but as a result of his packed schedule, his dating life got pushed to the side. Byron is paired with 28-year-old Melbourne performer Brie who describes herself as 'bubbly and crazy'. She has never had a serious boyfriend and has never been in love. Brie and Byron.

Brie feels 'happy and relaxed' and Byron says he is one 'lucky guy'. The newlyweds begin to get on like a house fire thanks to Brie's quirky personality but she soon starts to become overwhelmed with the big life change. Commitment is one of her biggest fears and she usually runs away from men as soon as it begins to get serious — but you can't run from island life. She says she doesn't want to self-sabotage her relationship. During the episode, viewers are introduced to the second couple where they meet 30-year-old Queenslander, Amy, who is also looking to meet the love of her life. The 'outrageous and fun princess' has had a lot of bad luck when it comes to men and has become known on TikTok for sharing her horrid dating stories. After the speed dating event, she hoped to marry handsome AFL player Hayden, who wooed her over with his salmon pink suit jacket and man bun. However, she is immediately disappointed when she sees New Zealander Mike waiting for her at the altar. While the pair struggle through some cringy vows and seal their marriage with a quick kiss, Amy does admit that Mike seems fun and she wants to give him a chance. But once they are on the island, Mike's chance of winning over Amy starts to deplete as the two big personalities collide and a power struggle ensues. Both want to be the dominate one in the relationship and Mike doesn't understand why Amy won't let him 'be the man'. Next up is 46-year-old Chad who works in orthopaedics helping to save people's limbs before amputation is needed. His family life has complicated his dating experiences as he has spent a lot of time helping his mum care for his sister who has special needs. Chad said he is doing the experiment so there are no distractions stopping him from getting to know his potential love. Chad's lucky lady is Georgia who is over the moon to find out she is marrying him. While finding love is a first for Chad, it's not Georgia's first rodeo. She was once engaged for a planned destination wedding but her husband-to-be pulled out three days before their big day. 'It was a dagger to the heart,' Georgia said. 'I'm very scared to get married again but I want love and a Disney fairytale ending I didn't have last time.' Georgia is obsessed with Chad's tanned skin and dark features and is more than happy to be stranded with him The new couple seal their marriage with a kiss on the cheek. Georgia and Chad. Credit: Supplied With the marriages out of the way, night soon begins to fall on Honeymoon Island and sleeping arrangements between each pair needs to be sorted out. Each couple contemplates their first night as husband and wife and sleeping in the elements. The next day each couple is still trying to figure each other out and navigate living on a deserted island. Brie's commitment fears are in full swing and as soon as she hears the word wife, she 'wants to swim away'. But her struggle to be open with her emotions has left her withdrawn from Byron who starts to wonder if she's shutting down because of him. With 24 hours alone on the island now complete, the next stage of the experience soon arrives. Mysterious orange crates arrive in the water, with the couples sent out to retrieve and open them. A crate will be sent every week with each one containing surprises, tips and relationship tests. The first crate is an individual video message from the contestants' families back home, offering advice, warnings and support. The word from home brings a lot of comfort to Brie and Amy who have been feeling emotional. It's enough for Amy to finally get real and confront Mike for making her feel 'belittled and uncomfortable' following his controlling behaviour at times. 'It's nightmare island,' she said. With some questioning their decision to sign up, to others calling each other 'babe' on the first day, episode two is set to unpack more drama as we meet three more couples also hoping to fall in love. Watch Stranded On Honeymoon Island then answer the daily question for your chance to win a five night stay at the Berkeley River Lodge. CLICK HERE TO ENTER THE COMPETITION

Can this ugly elf make China cool again?
In China's campaign to win over hearts and minds worldwide, its latest weapon is a fanged, bunny-eared, arguably quite ugly plushie. The grinning fuzzy toy, called Labubu, is made by a Chinese company and has become a global craze. It has in recent months been toted by celebrities including Rihanna and David Beckham; set off brawls among competing shoppers in England; and prompted overnight stakeouts in Los Angeles. It has even shaped the travel itineraries of some devotees, who have planned trips to China around hopes of buying one there. Resale prices for the roughly $US30 ($46) figurine have run into the hundreds of dollars. 'I flew all the way to China just to visit the BIGGEST POP MART STORE IN THE WORLD,' read the caption on a TikTok video by one vlogger from the Philippines, Lianna Patricia Guillermo, referring to the company that makes Labubu. (Guillermo clarified in an interview that she had visited the store during a long layover in Shanghai.) The enthusiasm over Labubu may pass like any other viral trend. But it could also be another sign that China, which has struggled to build cultural cachet overseas amid long-standing concerns about its authoritarian politics, is starting to claim some victories. Loading Chinese state media outlets have sought to frame it that way. 'The furry, nine-toothed elf created by Chinese toymaker Pop Mart has become a benchmark for China's pop culture making inroads overseas,' said an article in People's Daily, the Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece. Other Chinese products to find global followings include video games such as Black Myth: Wukong and affordable, well-made electric cars by BYD and other brands. DeepSeek, the Chinese AI model, has been adopted by tech companies overseas, including in the United States and Europe. Foreign travel bloggers have posted videos of themselves gushing about Shanghai's skyline and Chengdu's pandas. More niche offerings, like soapy Chinese period dramas, are finding audiences too. Patti Smith, the punk rock legend, has apparently left admiring comments on the Instagram account of a relatively unknown actor in one that recently debuted on Netflix. Polls also show changes in public opinion. An analysis published in May by Morning Consult showed that for the first time China's global standing surpassed that of the United States, including among American allies. Even in the United States, where views of China remain overwhelmingly negative, the share of Americans with an unfavorable opinion of China fell for the first time in five years in March, according to Pew. Younger Americans in particular are less hostile to China.

A new book just went viral online. Another author says it was made with AI
A scandal over allegations of plagiarism is rocking the book community on TikTok, becoming the latest drama to unfold in a pocket of the internet that was once considered a safer space from online toxicity. Beverly, a romance novel by indie author Laura J. Robert, had picked up recent buzz on the social media platform, where readers and authors often discuss the latest titles and give recommendations. But several creators removed their videos praising Robert's book after allegations emerged that it was a rip-off of the indie author R.J. Lewis' Obsessed, which was published in 2016. Both books have plots that follow a lead female character and her romance with her childhood friend. Some people posted excerpts of Lewis' words juxtaposed with Robert's, identifying what they described as similarities. Others accused Robert of using artificial intelligence (AI) to tweak and lengthen Lewis' book to create her own version. A handful of people speculated the authors could be the same person — because Robert's initials are Lewis' initials backward — and that the controversy could all be a PR stunt. Lewis has publicly alleged the work was stolen. 'It has been brought to my attention that Beverly by Laura J Robert was stolen from my book Obsessed,' she said. 'My team and I have been painstakingly reviewing the original copy of Roberts' book and the similarities/plagiarism cannot be ignored straight from the very start. 'It is actually sickening and has left me shocked and saddened. 'This is an author's worst nightmare!' She said she has contacted Amazon to raise a copyright infringement case and hopes 'that people in the BookTok space realise this author is stealing content and profiting from it'. Lewis declined to comment further. Robert initially deactivated her social media, but reactivated it and shared a statement over the weekend, calling the allegations 'bizarre'. 'It's my book,' she said. 'My heart on those pages.' 'We live in a time where it's incredibly easy to manipulate things online and get people to run with it. 'No matter what people say or what kind of screenshots/slideshows they throw around to try and make me look bad, I know the truth. 'I know the sleepless nights, and the heart I poured into these characters and their story. 'I know what I did. More importantly, I know what I didn't do. 'And that's what matters to me. 'I stand by Beverly. My characters are mine. 'I know the work I put in. I know who I am.' 'Does anyone miss just having a silly, goofy, fun time?' On BookTok, some have cited the somewhat niche controversy as yet another example of the community's shift away from lighthearted content around new releases. 'Does anyone miss just having a silly, goofy, fun time, having a bit of a laugh?' Lola Oluremi, a BookTok creator, said in a recent video discussing Beverly and Obsessed. 'I feel like every time I log onto BookTok now, it's something.' The online space, which has been credited for inspiring a fresh wave of interest in literature, hasn't been devoid of drama in the past. But this month, the Beverly accusations followed two other separate situations that had caused some division among BookTokers online. Author Ali Hazelwood, who is behind popular novels such as The Love Hypothesis, left Instagram purportedly after she was 'bullied' for a comment she made during a panel discussion at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books in April. Hazelwood weighed in on who she thought Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist of Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games books, should have ended up with romantically, saying it should have been her childhood friend Gale, rather than her fellow tribute, Peeta. 'He's a terrible, mean, selfish person,' Hazelwood said of the character Peeta, a baker's son from District 12 who was reaped alongside Katniss in the books. The clip of Hazelwood's remarks was widely circulated and blasted online by people who accused her of having a bad take. Hazelwood didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Since she went dark online, several BookTokers have come to her defence, reflecting on how the community has seemingly become more prone to getting lost in meaningless discourse. 'The way y'all have lost the plot over a fictional bread boy has left me genuinely questioning the mental health of the book community,' Shelley Fleuridor, the YouTuber behind the channel Book Chats with Shelley, said in a recent video delving into the Hazelwood backlash. 'We need to talk about what's happening to this community and why some of you genuinely need to be placed in a reading timeout immediately, maybe permanently.' Also this past month, Victoria Aveyard, the author of the Red Queen books, sparked a wave of backlash and speculation on BookTok after she post a video alluding to another author's using generative AI in a novel without naming the purported writer. She said she didn't name the person because she didn't want to get sued. 'Using GenAI to come up with characters, plots and story ideas isn't writing. It's theft,' Aveyard said. 'Using GenAI doesn't make you a writer. It makes you a thief.' She said generative AI has been trained on copyrighted material that 'has been stolen from artists without license or compensation'. Some subsequent posts from users accuse Aveyard of being a 'mean girl' obsessed with 'drama'. In other videos, some try to guess which author she was referring to. Meanwhile, a handful of authors have also been posting videos of their writing and editing processes to prove their work isn't made with AI. With Beverly, it remains unclear whether there will be consequences for Robert beyond online fallout. Beverly was temporarily removed from Amazon, but is currently still available. The title remains on GoodReads, where several people have posted comments about the plagiarism accusations and given the book a one-star review.
